About AMLE

Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE) is part of the portfolio of journals published by the Academy of Management along with AMJ, AMP, AMP, Annals, and AMD. AMLE is rated as 4* in the UK AJG list and A* in the Australian Business Deans’ Council list of journals.

AMLE publishes theory-driven studies on management learning, management education, or the business of business schools. For empirical papers, this means that where the research sample is composed of learners, they are higher education students in business school(s) or school(s) of management, or they are managers learning in executive contexts. Where the sample is composed of faculty, then they are situated within a business school(s) or school(s) of management. 

Registration

  • There is no registration fee, but participants are responsible for arranging their own travel and accommodation. Registration, submission of a short paper, and commitment to attend are required for all participants wishing to attend both parts of the PDW. The places in Part 2 are limited and are allocated to the first 15 submissions that meet the requirements below.
  • You can still attend and participate if you do not have work to discuss in Part 2. Please let us know by 15 November 2025 if you wish to register without submitting work for Part 2.

Catering

Refreshments and lunch will be provided. HEC Paris, Doha generously sponsored catering and lunch for a limited number of participants.

Requirements

Short papers (approximately 3,000 words) that fit the aim and scope of AMLE. Prior editorials can serve as guideposts to clarify AMLE’s focus and content areas (Caza et al., 2024; Coraiola & Caza, 2025; Hibbert, in Rockmann et al., 2021; Hibbert et al., 2023; Lindebaum, 2024; Vince and Hibbert, 2018).

Workshop Structure

This workshop has two main parts:

  • Part 1 comprises a general introduction to AMLE. The main focus is on writing manuscripts that advance our theoretical understanding of MLE phenomena for the research article and essay sections of the journal. This first part of the workshop is open to all interested participants, including those who do not submit a short paper.
  • Part 2 is focused on supporting and advising researchers on how to develop and refine their papers with submission to AMLE in mind. Those wishing to participate in Part 2 should note the requirements.
